quandary, being almost out OF money and
obliged to get to Paris before could re-
plenish my purse. or course, was very
anxious to 20 on with the train.
"Just as l was puZzling my brains as to
what could do, spruce looking young
gentlemen came up and asked me in Eng
lish what the matter was. l told him l did
not know, and asked him II he also spoke
French. He replied that he did, and that he
would ascertain what was the charge
against me. After conversing few
moments with the officials he informed me
that was under arrest because / answered
the description Of a man whom the police
were seeking.
"'But I'm an American said /. Il

vised me to produce my passport, but on
seaching for 1t in my hip pocket It was

with me produced his passport, but that

me IN English then came back and advised

found under the seat which had occupied.
The officials were profuse In their apollo
giles and proceeded on my journey, re-
lieved of great anxiety.
"Arrived In Paris, | noticed bands of
music, soldiers, &c, at the station, indicat
ing that some great parsonage was to be
welcomed. AS l stepped out upon the
platform saw the little English-speaking
traveller who had befriended me coming
out OF Il yellow car on the front OF the train.
All eyes were upon him, and 1t suddenly
flashed upon me that he must be noble

THE FAMOUS
"KnOCkabOut' Suits.

The maker OF these Suits
gives the following reasons
why they are superior to all
others at the price:
First. Because they are
made from double-and-twist
fabrics especially calculated
to stand any amount Of hard
wear.
Second. Because they are
substantially trimmed, only
indestructible materials in
thread, lining, &C., being
used in their manufacture.
Third. Because the seams
are double stitched and
stayed with tape, thus rem
dering it impossible for them
to rip.

TOO MANY SUBJECTS OF STUDY.
The Vicious Practice OF Cramming
Young Minds.
Popular Science Monthly.l

Popular Science Monthly.l
OIe OF the greatest mistakes made In our
present system Of educating children |
that they are given too many subjects to
study at once. The power OF dissociation-
that is, Of keeping one subject entirely
clear of another SUBJECTS not great In the
minds Of children. They therefore have q
mass OF confused ideas when they have got
through with their daily tasks, which 1t is
always difficult and sometimes impossible
for them to separate one from the other. 1t
is true that some children are, from the be-
ginning, able to concentrate the attention
first to one subject and then on another; but
these are quite exceptional instances, and
the brain is very likely to be strained in the
effort. Itis as Thoughts person should spend
six hours In looking alternately through a
telescope and microscope, giving few min
utes to each. II would certainly be found
at the end Of that time that the sight had
been injured for the time being, ut least,
and II the practice should be continued
there can be no doubt that permanent i'm
pairment OF vision would be the result.
The effort to form and maintain clear and
forcible ideas Of several subjects at once
Is difficult matter, even for adults. 1t
has been found by experience that It is
advantageous to reduce the number OF
branches OF medical science which students
are required to study simultaneously. Sew
eral of the better class Of medical colleges
In this country a few years ago cut down
the list Of from eight or ten to less than half
the number, and extended the period Of
study from two sessions Of four months
each to three OF from six to eight months.

no necessity to consider such an impr obable
contingency, but it may be worth
to the causes Of the superior ex-
emption of women from decay. Since they
do not go to war, nor engage IN dangerous
occupations, their lesser rate OF mortality is
easily accounted for, but that they are less
liable to physical and moral degeneracy
must be largely due to the conditions OF
social restraint and Limitation, which pro-
which men are ordinarily exposed.
Women are naturally better than men, but
they are quite sensitive to surrounding In

Of moral decay longer, they must, by the
nature Of the social constitution, finally

A question Of wool and Russian roubles
has been decided by Assistant Secretary
Maynard in u Boston case, where, on an
appeal OF II. c. Thatcher u Co. from an
assessment of 8 cents pound on wool
imported from Russia, the importers con
tended they should only have been taxed
half that amount. The case turned on the
value of the Russian paper rouble, in which
currency the wool was bought, and the de-
partment decides against the importers on
the basis of the st. Petersburg money
market quotations, certified by the United
States consul, thus, in effect, declaring that
the importers paid more than ~ cents
